HANDS UP!

I know you are looking forward to listening to a song, so we are going to watch this video and celebrate that today is Friday ( in Usher's words "Thank God the week is done" ). 

You can read the Lyrics here, in English and in Spanish, but don't pay too much attention to Pitbull's part. Remember what I told you in class regarding words like "Gonna" and "Ain't", they are too colloquial. Don't use them at school. By the way, the Spanish translation is not a very good one.
